NETFLIX IS A JOKE FEST presents Maggie Crane in Side by Side on May 2nd. After its critically acclaimed, sell out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Side by Side returns to Los Angeles! Can you ever be as cool as your older brother? Not when he has a purple sparkly wheelchair and everyone’s attention. Set during the early 2000s in the crunchy-granola-meets-redneck-woods of Western Massachusetts, Maggie Crane’s darkly funny solo show is an autobiographical account of growing up amidst disability, death, and Dunkin’ Donuts. To ground the show in preteen angst and vulnerability, Maggie foregrounds her love of emo music and her lifelong obsession with Panic! at the Disco. Side by Side is part solo show, part stand-up special about comedian Maggie’s relationship with her older brother Aiden. Aiden was blind, in a wheelchair, and developmentally disabled, but this never stopped the wild jealousy, sibling rivalry, and unique bond between the two siblings. Join Maggie in Side By Side at The Hotel Café Second Stage this Thursday!
